The flag is checked in tun_chr_poll() as well.

I think we've already tried to do this, in tun_net_open() we call
write_space(). But the problem is the bit may not be set at that time.

A second thought is to set the bit in tun_chr_poll() instead of -EIO like:

diff --git a/drivers/net/tun.c b/drivers/net/tun.c

        if (tun->dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED)
Does this make more sense?

Thanks
